Episode 17

"Forever Bliss Shop"

The maid cafe is finally coming to an end.

The correct title after Before and After would be Future, but I thought "Forever" would be more appropriate for Seaside, so I gave it that title.

As I wrote at the beginning, "Soremachi" began with Tatsun's arrival and ends with his departure.

All of Kon-senpai's stories were written in the lead-up to the moving episode "Tatsutori," but all of Tatsun's stories were written in the lead-up to this episode.

The polishing scene was the most moving one I've ever seen.

Maybe.

The fact that it was Tatsun who suggested washing the sign and spoke to him while polishing it speaks to the changes in their relationship and Tatsun's mental growth.

At the very end, Kobuhei's line "There's only two idiots left!!!" was originally supposed to be "Three idiots for no other reason!!", but he said it again during the actual performance.

And I was beaten.

Even though the maid cafe is closed, the town still keeps turning, so we walk along the seaside, step by step, and then there's the seaside, step by step, and the bird. This is the end of the storyline.

I think Tatsuno might be the least popular character in these threads but she's been a really important character. I think she's Hotori's closest friend and she's one of the best girls in this manga.

As a diehard Konfag, I agree. Tatsuno doesn't quite get the attention she deserves in the manga and, as others have pointed out, Kon ends up feeling like a much closer friend to Hotori than Tatsuno. Tattsun is a top-tier meganeko.

I think it's a different kind of closeness. Kon's relationship feels like bursts of intensity while Tatsuno's friendship feels more casually intimate. She seems to regularly sleep over at Hotori's place, they go on more trips together, Tats shares things about her family and her crush, they hang out more since they're classmates and they work together, and they've known each other for 1 year longer than Hotori has known Kon. For Hotori to call someone an assistant is a big deal.

I'm always touched by the phrasing here, dividing their lives into "before" and "after". I think it ties in a lot to the overall manga, a sort of steady and bittersweet slow change of externalities while the heart of things is preserved, and I think looking at it in light of the epilogue is quite informative. We're seeing a golden period of these people's lives which can't last forever, and which in fact is changing a little bit every day, but we want to hang onto it. I always think the nonchronological order works so well for this because it makes it more noticeable that Hotori and Tatsun and Kon do act differently when they're older/younger.

Soremachi's epilogue is probably genuinely one of my favourite I've ever read in any fiction and now that I'm older and more emotionally vulnerable it actually does make me tear up. I'll try to post about why I like it so much once we're finished.

Hotori's love for her town and the people in it are the glue of this manga. There's no hesitation to sacrifice herself to let the town keep turning. Throughout the manga we've seen how much she loves the town and the town loves her, so decision is no surprise.
There have been several typhoons in this manga and I don't know if there's any deeper symbolism to it other than her name. Maybe something shinto related?
